A lot of people in Italy resent Lippi's success 4 years ago, and were
waiting behind the corner with their knives sharpened.

You got your wish.

I was very happy for him when Italy won in 06. The win against Germany was
great, also because of his tactics.

It was a big mistake coming back, not only because it was hard to match
2006, but because his arrogance was at a new level.

He gave no explanations for his decisions, zero.

C'mon, you can't possibly defend him. I had nothing against him until this
year, when he left out players that deserved to go, based on performance.

Everyone could see it coming except him. His said he had clear ideas going
into the WC, the team was in shambles.

It's his own doing.
